Waynesville, North Carolina
I have never been to a place such as this. They literally worship 60’s music. Such as, Jonis Joplin,Lynard Skynard,The Steve Miller Band and others. It is probably a 60’s town also and needs to be placed in your map of hippie places. The people have long hair, dress in flares and hippie clothing.
Yellow Springs, Ohio
Home of the Ivy League Antioch College, head shops, hemp and Earth Friendly clothing and jewelry stores, several music stores (one specializing in hand made drums) and several specialty gift stores.
Fairborn, Ohio
Near Fairborn. The Renaissance Festival. Hippies everywhere you look and lots of stuff about medieval times…. you can buy clothes and different things. It’s a great place to meet people and everyone shares everything.
That being said, it is right next door to one of the world’s largest Air Force Bases, Wright-Patterson field.
Grants Pass, Oregon
Right on Interstate 5, there are still active communes including an artists commune, the largest open air market in Southern Oregon, and 30% cottage industry for a variety of wares, a good amount of organic farms, great music and meetings of the mind, a lot of eco-consciousness and a liberal attitude (we outlasted the right wingers and loggers).
Trumansburg, New York
In the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, North of Binghamton, 20 minutes from Ithaca. It’s home to the annual hippie Fingerlakes Grassroots music festival! It’s also home of the Rongovian Embassy Bar and Restaurant which is always happy to host Dead cover bands and any other kind scene.
Oregon
Just about Any city in Oregon West of the Cascade Mountains is a Hippy Haven. Oregon is the only state where hippies enjoy a majority at the voting booths come election time. There’s a saying going around “Hippies dont die. They just move to Oregon. During the past few years hippies have been moving to Oregon in droves because there’s employment for hippies here, and we hippies can go full out in our glad rags in public veiw with out being accosted, laughed at or put down. Oregon is a true hippy Haven.
The Cascade Range is full of small towns that have been the last refuge of the hippies since the 70ies. All of these little towns are lawless.And have a long stading hippie tradition. Towns Like Alpine, Deadwood, Falls city, Summit, Berkenfield (Near Portland), Harlan (Behind the Native American Sacred Mountain Marys Peak) Nashville (Where all the Bands just have to stop). Just grab a Map and you can find an old hippie settlement any where in the coast range.
UPDATE: Cannabis is now legal!
Fulton County, New York
Located 40 min. northwest of Albany, at the base of the Adirondack mountains. Named for inventor Robert Fulton, who commercialized the first Steamboats.
Reputedly, there are many hippies in the area which in past have hosted hemp fests, music fests, and some down to earth people have been a part of recent Fulton county history. Check out Johnstown, Gloversville, Ephratah, or Caroga Lake.
Ann Arbor, Michigan
There is a Hash Bash every year there and so many hippies come. Ann Arbor is a great place.
